Report by Chief Executive.
3
There was submitted a report by the Chief Executive relative to applications for Local Partnership funding in Johnstone and Linwood for 2020/21.
The report intimated that applications for funding from the Local Partnership had been invited to reflect the Local Partnership’s priorities of Taking Pride in the Look and Feel of our Towns; What’s on in Johnstone and Linwood; Roads and Transport; Community Safety; and Focus on Young People. The available allocation for Johnstone and Linwood was £47,044. The sum of £50 per community representative required to be ringfenced for potential claims for administrative expenses, which left a balance of £46,344 for allocation.
The report advised that the Youth Challenge Fund component of Johnstone and Linwood’s funding, now known as Celebrating Renfrewshire, was £21,697. This would be allocated by young people through a participatory budgeting process, which was currently underway.
The Chair proposed a method for considering the applications, which had been circulated to members prior to the meeting. Following discussion, it was agreed that the Chair’s proposal be amended to award application FR1043 (Eat Up) the full amount requested and application FR1177 (Lamont Farm Project) 50% of the amount requested.
